Powerful DRAFTING FOR THETexans

Draft Grade — Texans
Overall

FutureB-
Larceny in the 167th pick lands the Texans a D, Spears-Jennings and all. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Texans shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Edwards reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Spears-Jennings.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
A quiet steal in slot 58: T.J. Sanders for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 89th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Phillips at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in pick No. 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They paid up for Donovan Edwards at pick No. 243 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
